"We sensed something was planned" Sîpan Hemo (SDF) about the negotiations in Damascus on January 4 "It was a very positive meeting, because both sides had agreed on the articles. Just as we were discussing these matters, an official from another state entered the room. He took the intelligence chief and the Minister of Defense aside and left. When they returned, they said, ‘Let’s leave it until the 7th or 8th of the month.’ It was clear that some kind of game was going to unfold. Shortly afterward, the language of threats against Sheikh Maqsoud intensified. Naturally, the Sheikh Maqsoud Neighborhood Council decided to resist. The press also knows well that the attack on Sheikh Maqsoud was not reported by Syrian media, but by foreign media, and we followed it that way. On the same day, officials from certain states were in Damascus and sent the message that they were standing by them. With this backing, they declared war against Sheikh Maqsoud.”

❗️Active jihadist groups involved in the massacre of Aleppo❗️ During the historical resistance in Sheikh Maqsoud and Eshrefiya, it became clear how Turkish affiliated jihadist groups were responsible for the massacre on the population in the two neighborhoods. On different pictures circulating, jihadist groups are showing the grey wolf sign, revealing their direct connection to Turkey. Militia groups involved were for example the Sultan Murad and Sulayman Shah gangs. These gangs played an active role in the massacre on the Kurds. It shows once again how Syria became an open playground for foreign jihadist such as Ahmed Mansour from Egypt, seen in the picture above. Another example is Samet Dagül, a Turk from Germany (Hanau), who is evidently involved with Al-Qaida, showing himself as a journalist. The Syria they want is a Syria where execution, torture and violence is filmed and celebrated, while Western and regional backers pretend that this is a "new state" bringing stability. #MassacreInAleppo

Aldar Xelil, member of the Presidential Council of the Democratic Union Party (PYD) The Epic of Resistance in Al-Ashrafiyah and Sheikh Maqsoud In a time when certain groups, backed by regional and international powers, foremost among them Turkey, a NATO member, claim to have achieved a “victory” in the name of what they call the “Syrian State,” this claim is nothing but an illusion devoid of any moral or realistic value. A regime that ruled Syria for decades collapsed in eight days due to the absence of the will to resist, while the two small neighborhoods of Al-Ashrafiyah and Sheikh Maqsoud resisted for six days and continue to resist relentlessly, despite being besieged from four sides since the fall of the regime. This alone proves that any so-called “victory” over such will is nothing but self-mockery. This people has faced multiple forces, supporting states, and various types of weapons, alongside massive Turkish support through drones, yet it has not surrendered. Its free will is immortal, renewing itself across time and place, affirming that resistance is not a temporary event but a continuous path toward freedom. What has been achieved is a true victory for the Internal Security Forces (Asayish) and for our people in Sheikh Maqsoud and Al-Ashrafiyah, and a victory for the martyrs Ziyad and Fiyan, whose legacy will remain a beacon on the path of struggle until the greater victory is realized. Long live our people, mercy to the martyrs. Victory is ours.

💥Call to action!💥 The Turkish backed islamist gangs declared war on the Kurdish people in Aleppo. With artillery and tanks they try to crush the frontline of Rojava, which is today in the neighbourhoods of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiya. They attack the women's revolution and the struggle for a democratic and socialist society, today taking place in Iran and Aleppo. We call all internationalists and everybody fighting for freedom to act and defend the revolution. We call for actions to build pressure in the streets and to proclaim with a loud voice: "We don't accept any attack on the revolution of Rojava. We see the Turkish State behind these war crimes. We are united in the struggle. Long live the revolutionary people's war! Defend the Rojava Revolution for a Democratic Syria!"✌️ 💚❤️💛

The people are ready to defend their neighbourhoods Fake news are spread about the people leaving the neighbourhoods of Ashrafiye and Sheikh Maqsoud. The council of both neighbourhoods made clear: "We, as the administration of the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyah councils, do not accept the pressure on our people and our neighbourhoods. Due to the actions of the Damascus government since coming to power against the various components and divisions of Syria, and especially the relentless massacres and massacres against our people in the last few days, we do not believe that they can assure our security in our neighbourhoods. For this reason, it is not possible for us to take a step back in terms of securing the security of our neighborhoods. We have decided to stay in our neighbourhoods and protect them"

The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria: 📌 The ongoing attacks on the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh neighborhoods of Aleppo, carried out by factions affiliated with the Syrian Transitional Government, constitute a systematic criminal act directly targeting unarmed civilians. 📌 The inability of these factions to achieve any military progress on the ground has driven them to adopt a policy of indiscriminate and deliberate shelling, targeting residential areas, hospitals, and service facilities. 📌 The repeated targeting of hospitals and health centers cannot be considered an accident or a military error; rather, it is a deliberate act aimed at paralyzing life in the two neighborhoods. 📌 The continuation of these grave crimes and violations threatens to lead to massacres against civilians. 📌 We hold the Turkish state directly responsible for these crimes.

Update: All out War in Aleppo Since yesterday afternoon the Syrian Transitional Government (STG), the islamist HTS, launched an all-out war on the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiye neighbourhoods in Aleppo. Assault groups consisting of different islamist factions supported by Tanks and heavy artillery shelling have launched numerous attempts to breach the defence lines. Due to heavy shelling of civilian areas the number of martyrs and wounded is rising and even the hospital has been targeted repeatedly. Intense fighting was reported until the the STG announced a ceasefire from 3:00 am to 09:00 and called the resisting people to leave the neighbourhoods. Alarming reports of gruesome massacres: Last night a whole family was murdered by shelling on residential buildings and calls to massacre civilians are circulating on social media.

Aleppo-Update: Threat of Ethnic Cleansing & People’s Resistance The so-called Syrian Arab Army (controlled by HTS) has declared Ashrafiye & Sheikh Maqsoud military zones & issued an ultimatum to the population to leave the besieged districts by 3 p.m. through one of two designated corridors. This is a call to carry out ethnic cleansing: Anyone remaining is considered “SDF” and therefore a legitimate target. It is important to note that the SDF withdrew from these districts in accordance with the April 1 agreement with the Syrian Transitional Government (STG). The STG, however, has repeatedly violated the agreement and attacked these districts. Fighting continues, initial tank-supported attempts to breach the neighborhoods have been repelled. Demonstrations in support of the resistance in Aleppo have taken place in many cities in NES. The morale of the youth defending the neighborhoods is high, and as SDF Commander Sîpan Hemo said, Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiye are "unbreakable fortresses of resistance"

The Ministry of Defense of the Syrian Transitional Government declares war on the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh neighborhoods, which are densely populated with civilians, and declares a war of extermination against the Kurds who have suffered from the injustice of the previous regime. The majority of the neighborhood's residents are forcibly displaced people from Afrin. It should be noted that these two neighborhoods had been under a tight siege by units affiliated with the Ministry of Defense. Despite the Kurds' commitment to the April 1 agreement, the other party did not comply. Despite our intensive communications to conduct talks, the Ministry of Defense refuses dialogue. We call on the officials in the government to shoulder their responsibilities toward what is happening and to follow the path of reason and logic to resolve problems through dialogue and to stay away from the approach of war and battles. Enough is enough for the Syrians of what they have suffered from wars. And we call on the Syrians and the Syrian youth to stay away from these paths, to raise the voice of truth, and to reject war.

URGENT: Self-administrated neighborhoods of Aleppo under attack Since yesterday the neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsud and Ashrafiye were taken under artillery fire and attacked by “suicide drones” again. Until now 7 civilians were martyred while dozens are wounded seriously. The attacks are continuing right now. The attacking jihadist groups were formally integrated into the Syrian Army but continue to operate inofficially under the command of the Turkish secret service (MIT). While they were fighting for Turkey in the last years, occupying the Afrin region, the groups al-Amshat, Hamza Division, Esiftil-Şemal and Nour al-Din al-Zenki commited numerous crimes of war. The Turkish state tries to sabotage the ongoing negotiations by provocating a war in Syria We greet the resistance of the people in Aleppo and call on our allies to raise awareness for this dangerous escalation. Berxwedan jiyan e!

Update: As of now fighting has ceased in Aleppos Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiah neighbourhoods. People are celebrating on the streets after the attacks by HTS forces have been repelled.
